The Human league , founded 1977 in Sheffield / England was one of the first bands which played electronic music , and is still one of the well known bands of the New Wave aera. This title has been a dancefloor hit in the clubs ( and still later on when they remastered it 1982 ) One title, i will never get enough from ” Being Bolied ” ( listed in The Wire’s “100 Records That Set The World On Fire (While No One Was Listening)”)
” Dont you want me “or ” Human ” have alo been hits afterwards , but nothing compares to this song , believe me
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring
Boiled alive for some Gods stocking
Buddha’s watching, Buddha’s waiting
Just because the kid’s an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People don’t forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn’t mean that she’s your better
Once more with the voice of Buddha
He’ll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
He’ll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
Listen to the voice of Buddha
